Move In Peace ~

"Being still does not mean don't move.
 It means move in peace.”
E'ven A. Gardner
*  *  *
today is my son's
birthday
due to the unusual
circumstances leading up
to his birth there were times
during those months that I was tempted
to fret, to worry, to stew
the words that repeatedly came to me
each time were words that
brought peace to my heart
"Be still, and know that I am God"
Psalm 46:10
he is an enormous blessing
to me and to those who
know him and his family

No matter their age, our children remain our babies and we worry about them always.
Hope he had a terrific birthday.

I found myself thinking about what it means to "move in peace". I have resolved to carry those thoughts with me and into my corner of the world today.

Yes I really like that definition of being still. Gladioli were a big thing in Austraila in the 1950 s. my Mum and Dad had a garden full of them.

Love the quote. Stillness is being without torment. Love that. Movement in the stillness of peace is strength, power, actually. The kind of thing that moves mountains. Flowers completely embody this. Nice.

Something we should all remember daily.

Congrats on your son's birthday and the special memories that go along with that.

YES! And today, while walking around and about the house and seeing the paintings we have has just filled me with appreciation and joy and rejoicing for the miraculous way in which his life came into our world...and how he is blessing so many now in so many ways. I love him very much...and still have his birth announcement card that you sent out. What a treat! And expect that you had a wonderful family time during the birthday eating time. Bless you and yours.
